   For what it's worth I was/am debating the same, driving a RAM 1500, towing R pod 192, with Westlake tires. It is the Hood River Edition, so the tires are St235/75r, so far have done close to 3k miles, including dirt roads, no issues. Installed TPMS and I make sure they are at the correct pressure before each trip. To make things more complicated the 235's are custom to FR and even if I wanted to, it is hard to find 235's. If I go with Goodyear endurance I would go to 225's and lose some clearance, which I don't want to. So for now I am not changing. Hope this helps.

	Factory tires or change, that is the question. Taking delivery of a new 180 soooon! Read many posts on tires, China Bombs ! others say O.K. Not new to towing, horse/cattle trailers (goose neck) and 5th wheel, utility trailers. Three and two axles, never a single axle. All my trailers were on Carlisle 10 ply tires. My feeling is never scrimp on tires or brakes. Do I change when I get the 180 or wait? Are 10 ply too stiff for a light trailer? My other question is about WDH?Sway. I hope no one has ever had a blow out, but was the WDH a hinderance or help? Will be towing with a 19/20 F150, V8 (Texas Edition) with factory tow package. E2 WDH
